Papa a Toda madre #95/96 5.31.18: Bite You Once, Shame On The Snake, Bite You Twice, It's a Novela

Capitulo #95: A Time Jump and a Smoke Signal

Mauricio urges Anifer to tell him what Fabian told her, because she won’t get in trouble, and Anifer confesses everything and worries that he won’t love her in the future, because they aren’t blood related. Mauricio tells her not worry, because she is his daughter, no matter how old he gets. Anifer makes him promise, and he does, and also promises not to lie to her again, especially after lying about his relationship with Maria. Maria assures her that her relationship with Mauricio won’t affect her relationship with her, they are both adults, and came deal with their issues without involving her. Anifer nods and Maria also tells her that they won’t take her to see Fabian as often. Anifer worries that he won’t get better unless they visit him, but Maria tells her that his well-being doesn’t depend on them.

The next morning, Jorge gets dressed as Dulce smiles from bed and asks if he wants to go for Round 2. Jorge tells her that he is in a hurry now, so she proposes that they do it that night though Jorge promises to let her know when it’s time. She smiles and announces that she’s going to show then but asks for a kiss. Jorge obliges and scurries out, afraid she will get grabby again, and Dulce screams that she loves him.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/30/18 Chapter 61 Miercoles: Consequences



Chapter 61: Consequences
I'm Christopher Mason. We were always told in our childhood science class that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When we are adults these are often the result either of mistakes or acts of malice. Tonight we will see a variety of people who have to face The Consequences.
  • Elena told Alejandra in no uncertain terms that she did not want Ricardo near her children.
    “I don't want any father near my children who doesn't worry about them when it's so easy for him to abandon them for just any woman.”
    “Don't be such a manipulator,” was Alejandra's reply.
    “Does it look alright that they saw him [???] with another woman?”
    “I'd like to talk to them.”

Papá a toda madre Wednesday 5/30/18 Capítulo #94: "You Knew I Was a Snake When You Picked Me Up"--OR--"No Matter How Much a Snake Sheds Its Skin, It is Still a Snake"

Dear Patio Members, This most excellent recap is courtesy of Alfredo. The commentary in parentheses is all my own. Jarifa

Anifer's teacher calls Maria to let her know that Fabian wants to see Anifer. Maria is shocked. (Did she expect him to play by the rules????)

As Flor and Socorro get dinner ready, Socorro apologizes for ruining her peace and quiet and her beautiful house. Flor agrees and begins to call them all pigs as Ciceron arrives and asks Socorro for a coffee. She goes to make it but Flor wonders if he doesn't have hands to do it himself. Ciceron smiles and reminds her that he has someone to do it for himself, so he doesn't. Ciceron then notices that Carmelita's picture is missing and demands to know where it is. Flor tells him that she put it away and put a family picture (Neron, Milady and Flor) instead because it is now her house and not Ciceron's or Carmelita's. They begin to argue again about who own the house when Ciceron reminds Flor that Neron and her aren't married so, therefore, she has no rights to the house. He storms off as Socorro comes back with the coffee and wonders where he went or if he's mad. Flor is fuming. (Flor is into her perpetual grammar corrections: preterite tense second person singular does not have an "s" on the end which is something that Nerón, Socorro and Cicerón always want to add).

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/29/18 Chapter 60: A Very Vega Version

                                                 The Vega Family on the march.

“Elena is a woman off her rocker!” Ricardo has reached his limit with her.  She’s unmasked herself in front of Ric The Brick's entire legal family.  Of course, Benjamin gets off a cheap shot about couldn't you've guessed and gotten out ahead of this?  It's your specialty, after all. He smiles knowingly at Leticia who’s also put in her three and a half cents’ worth of finger pointing and claiming her BFF, Vexlena's “got a possible good reason for this, HUH?” before Gustavo shuts her down and puts her in her place.   Still, Elexlena and Company have done just enough to drag Ric over the coals a bit more serving him so publicly in front of the entire law firm.

However, the Vega Family closes ranks and it becomes A Very Vega Vision vitiating Vexlena's new found legal strategy.  Alonso says they’re in the tank with Ric and will help him overcome this injusticia.  Viewerville has flashbacks of the Brady Bunch ala Mexico, now all grown up and legal beagles for Firm Vega, El Justiciero.  Visions of viewing the Brady Bunch's Mexican cousins: The Vega Family on the legal march for one of its own.  “--One for all and all for one!!”—Oooops.  Sorry, that’s a different vision and the next country over, and a few centuries in the past.

Papa a Toda Madre #93: Trust Is the Name of the Game and No One Is Playing...

Or Kiss Like No One (Except Your Daughter) Is Watching

Ariel shows Renee and Mauricio the documents the private investigator gave him confirming that Noel was never in the rehabilitation clinic. Mauricio thinks Ariel’s story doesn’t make any sense, but Ariel explains that Noel could’ve been hiding out. Mauricio nods but Renee reminds them about the woman who called and told her Noel was at the bus station and left. Ariel doesn’t think so and promises to find Noel; Renee gives him a big hug as Mauricio watches.

Dulce can’t believe Jorge doesn’t believe her when she said her savings come from years of hard work. She tells him that she could’ve left with all her money elsewhere, but she chose them over everything. Jorge nods but asks that she left the twins to him and she can take care of everything else while they get on their feet. Dulce smiles and caresses his hand, reminding him that the best part of a fight is the reconciliation, but Jorge rejects her advances.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/28/18 Chapter 59 Lunes: Children's War



Chapter 59: Children's War
I'm Christopher Mason. Normal peace between parents and children is valued often because it is scarce. Often when parents are trying to protect their children from deserved punishment or imagined wrongs there is what is called Collateral Damage. When children become adults there is often different conflict. When either side is in the wrong it is usually difficult to put it right. We therefore will now see examples of Children's War.
  • Ricardo and Alejandra talked briefly about the latest Elena crisis before taking leave of each other until the next day. They kissed, she left his office, and he looked at the photo of his children with great concern.

Papá a Toda Madre, Episodes 91 & 92, 5/28/2018: Just in time…to Mess Things Up OR A (Child’s) Kiss Doesn’t Always Change a Frog into a Prince


Cut Scenes in Blue
At the orphanage, the director explains to R&R that they didn’t get to see the younger children the night before because they were being prepared to go to bed, but today, they will meet the babies and the children under 5 years of age. When Rafa gets shivers just thinking of the past these children have had, the director suggests that they concentrate on selecting which boy or girl they would like to have as their child. As soon as they walk into the room, Manolita, a five-year-old, runs to them and introduces herself. When she tells them that though she is very big, she would like to have a family, R&R are quite touched.

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/25/18 Chapter 58: Split's Gettin' Real

DAY 1 ACTION...

@T.O.P.S.I.M.C. (The Only Police Station in Mexico City):

Curly-top Vicente has got himself a Curly-Top Lawyer who squares off with Carlos muy bien. No one seems to have much evidence, but then it's not that kind of show. 

Carlos: Your client killed the minor character!

CTL: My client says YOUR client killed the minor character!

Carlos: My client says otherwise!

CTL: Well, DUH.

Vicente: I don't wanna go to jail!

CTL: It will only be for a short time.

Carlos: It will be for a wicked LONG time.

CTL: Let's go outside and hold an impromptu press conference where we say the same things, but with more head-tossing and nostril-flaring.

Carlos: Only if I can manspread all over the microphone.

Papa a Toda Madre Capítulo 90, Friday May 25, 2018; Fabian may never walk again, or will he?



(I’ve named this episode, “Fabian may never walk again” but since this is a TN, I’m banking that he will in a few more episodes have a “miraculous recovery.”)

We begin with Lili and Pablo going apartment hunting. They eye one that is several stories high and looks like a decent place. So they go up to see it. Lili thinks it might be a penthouse, but it turns out to be a single, plain room, like an attic room. Lili is not pleased and you can tell that she does not want to live there. But Pablo has grand ideas about how he can paint the place, put in curtains and plants and make it a lovely place to live for them. Soon Lili is smiling and they kiss.

At Jorge’s Dulce sets the table as Jorge is working on the household budget. It doesn’t look good and he doesn’t look happy. Dulce has a few ideas that don’t sit well with Jorge regarding Lili and Pablo. Jorge walks away saying, “My grandchild will be living here.”

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/24/18 Chapter 57: Life's Surprises Come In All Sizes


 
    • Ricardo and Alejandra finally spend the night together and in the same bed. (Viewerville was taking bets on whether he’d catch Ale’s zipper in that beautiful lace dress, but something tells me high maintenance Elena had trained him well!)

    • On the other side of town, Fer stayed asleep on the couch and Juan beside her.  She wakes up probably close to midnight and he wakes then also and walks her home.  Not to worry, his mama called hers and explained already.
 
    • At the scene of Imelda’s attempted murder, Alan and Carlos piece together the probable facts to the pictures.  Alan discovers some pomade that’s used for new tattoos in her room along with a diary/journal of sorts.  Carlos looks around and determines that Vicente’s DNA should be found on the drapery cord then it’s a slam dunk about the boy’s murder.  However, why would he attempt to kill them; there has to be some reason.

Papa a Toda Madre #89 5.24.18: I Don't Want Her BUT You Can't Have Her Either

Or When A (Man) Child Can't Share

Noel tries to escape by holding the door open with his cane, but he is caught immediately, subdued, and dragged back to his room while the nurse injects him with his “medicine.”

Tono and Veronica bring Fidel back home and let everyone know that he had nothing more than a stuffy nose. Tono then asks Esperanza to take the kids for a bath and she obliges, slightly annoyed. Once alone with Tono, Veronica asks him to lay off his mother, because everyone makes mistakes, but he thinks she’s too old to care for the kids and, therefore, doesn’t trust her. Either way, Veronica thinks they should care for the kids, if they are going to be home, but Tono is adamant that she’s too old (but still leaves them with Esperanza so he and Veronica can go to the cooperative company meeting).

Por Amar Sin Ley, 5/23/18 Chapter 56 Miercoles: Traps


Chapter 56: Traps
I'm Christopher Mason. Rats come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. They are both scavengers and predators and they respect neither age nor assets. In our story tonight we will see several get very close to or fall into the traps set for them.
  • Alonso told off Marrufo, telling him that as soon as the rapists are sent to prison so will he. Marrufo – arrogant as usual – denied this, in the full belief that he was bullet-proof. Jaime told him that when he acquitted the rapists he abused their victim. He insisted that Alexa's accusations were false, which Alonso reminded him was not proven in his courtroom. Marrufo took out his cell, saying he was calling his lawyer. He thoroughly believed that he would get out of this cesspool of corruption.

    • While Ricardo and Alejandra contemplate taking his kids to the amusement park, they enjoy a bit of diversionary lip-smacking themselves in his office.

    • Juanito is whining to his mother that he’s got too much to do to stay at home and have breakfast. Just then there’s a knock at the door.  It’s Fer and nope, she hasn’t had breakfast either.   They discuss her staying up all night and searching for some clue on the net about dead “dancer” Patricia’s missing-in-action boyfriend, Pedro.  And, well, she found an old resume still up on the net with a photo of him on it. (See, Johnny. Sometimes Mama does know best!)  Happy, happy! Joy, joy!!  Juanito attaches a “my love” to his excited comments.  Fer smiles that it’s the first time he’s done that.  They celebrate with a loving lip-lock as, we assume, Mama approves in the background.

Papa a Toda Madre #86/87 5.22.2018: Not Knowing When To Give Up, Get Dressed, or Tell The Truth

Or "Fired?! Again?!" God Bless Esperanza And Her Patience

Hey All! Slicing and Dicing Has Begun! :( Please find the recap for 86 below and Jarifa's summary for 87 in the comments. Thank you! :)

Dulce asks Jorge for some help because he’s making a lot of money at his new job, without doing much, but Jorge is sick of her and storms out of the house. He doesn’t realize, however, that he left one of the documents on the dining room table and Dulce gets her hands on it before inspecting the logo, looking for more information.

Renee goes to her house and tells Rafael and Rodrigo that her house is almost hers again but she’s now unsure of what to do: stay and rent it out to them or finally sell it. She has to also consider how expensive Maryland is going to be before making a final decision. They nod and then Rafael goes to answer the door for Ariel before they both leave as they have to go to do a seminar at the police station for parents who are adopting. Once alone with Renee, Ariel invites her out for the night because he’s going back to the US tomorrow. She wonders why he didn’t tell her before, but Ariel is silent.

Chapter 54: Greed

I'm Christopher Mason. There is no honor among thieves, no matter the size of the stakes. In our story tonight we will see examples of greed at all levels, for different currencies, and all from people who don't think more than two steps ahead of their games.
  • Leonardo and Roberto succeeded in getting injunctions pending appeal on the three rapists who escaped justice. They thanked Sonia who told them that this was exactly what happened when they appealed Carlos Ibarra's case. She considered him guilty; Leonardo reminded her that he was released due to lack of hard evidence. They told her that they are coming up with a new suspect list, which includes Tatiana. She was a bit incredulous at this as Tatiana had been a prosecution witness, but they met her halfway by suggesting that they get Carlos to surrender his passport until the case is concluded. She was satisfied with this and said she would issue the appropriate orders.

[Previously: At Renée’s house, Ariel is again saying good-bye to Renée acknowledging that those who repeat their good-byes do so because they really don’t want to leave. He kisses her on the mouth by mistake (yeah, right!) and apologizes, but thinks it was a nice mistake. (If his aim is this bad all the way around, it is no wonder he is single.)  Renée blushes and tells him good-bye so he leaves. Renée appears ambivalent about where this is going…]

As they arrive at school, Anifer tells Mauricio that she wants to go see Fabián at the hospital, but Mauricio reminds her that she is not allowed to go in. When he reiterates that those are the rules, Anifer points out that Mauricio never follows the rules; Mauricio thinks that is a good point, but is steadfast that it just can’t be done.
